Moral imagination is the capacity to empathize with others, i.e., not just to feel for oneself, but to feel with and for others. — Thomas McCollough

Good News of the Day:
Sometimes the greatest lessons come unexpectedly, and from the smallest moments. 7-year-old Owen Shure’s heart-warming letter to a football player is a perfect example. The Twittersphere buzzed with reactions to the San Francisco 49ers’ Kyle Williams fumbling the ball in a tight moment in the playoffs. Some responses were downright vitriolic. But hopefully Kyle also saw this touching story from Ben Mankiewicz: ‘He was crying, saying of Kyle Williams, with the distinct sobs of a seven-year-old between each word, “But… why… did he… have to… fumble?” […] Trying to get his son to stop crying, Michael asked him, “If you feel this way, how sad do you think Kyle Williams is?” Owen paused a second, then asked his dad, “Can I write him a letter to make him feel better?”‘ Nisha Srinivasan shares her reflections on Kyle’s letter.
